As a weekend warrior crew guy, I could see how someone could turn in the transponder in at the end of the night. Still don’t know all the facts in this case.
I don’t understand the point of this whole post. Everything isn’t USAC’s fault. The team turned in the transponder the day the semi was scheduled to be ran. Why would anyone do that unless they weren’t going to compete later that day?
If someone on the team said they were done, Then a Consi was cancelled for lack of cars. Then that car wants back in. Then the rest that didn't make it would have to be let in.
Sounds like a closed book. USAC did nothing wrong.
